Administration leaders, brushing

about a "horrible gag rule",
jammed the new crop control
bill to the point of final passage
in the house Tuesday.
The minority men contended
the house had not had time to
read the 121-page bill providing
for control of production
through benefit payments and
loans, and possible drastic limitations
on marketing of crops.
Their efforts to prolong debate
on the measure, which
was approved by a senatehouse
conference committee
last Friday, failed, however.

proach the problem there are many

The present bill is far from perfect,
and is criticized by many
good authorities. But it represents
the earnest and consistent effort
of congress to deal as best it can
with a most difficult question.
This article is written not to
give any final or official pronouncement
upon the bill or its
administration. Its only purpose
is to give, as nearly is the writer
can under present circumstances,
answers to some of the important
questions that are being asked
about its practical effect. The bill

has been carefully studied from
the beginning, and the writer recently
spent three or four hours
talking to officials of the Department
of Agriculture about
how the law will be administered.
But I speak here only for myself.
This article deals only with
the tobacco part of the bill. The
writer hopes to deal with the cotton
part in a subsequent article.
Before discussing tobacco, let
me say, in answer to many inquiries,
that a seed loan has been
passed by both houses and has
gone to the President for signature.
Undoubtedly it will become |
law shortly and the loans will be j
handled in practically the same!
way this year as formerly.
THE TOBACCO BILL OF 1938
The Soil Conservation program
will be continued, but payments
will be based upon one cent per
pound on the tobacco produced,
instead of a payment of so much
per acre for land taken out of
the production of tobacco. It should
be noted that a grower will
not receive the full benefit of one
cent per pound unless he complies
fully with the regulations.
This is a very good place to
say also that growers who fully
complied with the conservation
program in 1937 will riot be greatly
disturbed if the new bill goes
into effect. My best information
is that a grower who fully complied
with the 1937 program will
likely not be cut more than 7 per
cent in any event. In other words,
as I understand the situation, the
further a grower is away from
the soil conservation of 1937,
tho more he is likely to be cut
if the bill becomes effective.
MARKETING QUOTAS
The compulsory features of the
bill are based upon marketing j
quotas. It is required that when i
the Secretary of Agriculture finds ]
that the total supply of any type)'
*' * s 1? ? ' i
of tobacco at me oeginnmg m ,
the marketing year exceeds the i
reserve supply in such a way as i
to indicate a low price for the <
current year, he shall fix a na- i
tional marketing quota, indicating 1
the total amount of tobacco that i
should be produced in the current ]
year in order to maintain prices i
at the proper level. He is required ]
to make by December 1st a pro- <
clrmation fixing the national quota.
which means the total amount 1
to be produced, in the succeed- i
ing year. Of course as to 1938 it \
is provided that proclamation will 1
be made shortly after the bill I
becomes law. Thereafter it will i
he on December 1st. <
Within thirty days after the 1
proclamation the secretary shall
take a vOte of the tobacco grow- I
era to determine whether they 1
are in favor or opposed to fixing i
a quota for the current year. If ]
more than one third of the tobac- 1
co growers vote against fixing a s
quota, it will not go into effect, i
Otherwise, it will. 1

THE NEWS REPORTER, W
If adopted, the national quota
shall be apportioned by the secretary
among: the tobacco growing:
states on the basis of the production
of tobacco in each state
during the five preceding years.
Thereupon .through local committees
of farmers the state quota
shall be allotted among farms on
which tobacco is produced on the
basis of past marketing of tobacco,
land, labor, and equipment for
the production of tobacco, crop
rotation practices, and the soil
and other physical features affecting
the production of tobacco.
These committees are to be
elected by the, farmers themselves. 1
Just here an exception is made I
in favor of the small grower, pro- 1
ducing thirty-two hundred pounds 1
or less. Such grower will have an
allotment equal to the average :
production for the farm during ,
the preceding three years if this (
does not exceed thirty-two hun- (
dred pounds. Because of the nec- ,
essity of greatly reducing acre- ,
age, as mentioned hereinafter, it
will likely be necassary for grow- {
ers producing thirty-two hundred
pounds or less to take some cut
on last year's production, or three j
year average, but the best inform- .
ation that the writer is able to
get indicates that such cut will ]
not exceed 10 per cent, and where
there has been full compliance j
with the soil conservation pro- ,
gram, the cut will likely not ex- ,
ceed 7 per cent. .
As to new growers it is pro- j
vided that not in excess of 5 (
per cent of the State's quota J
may be set aside for allotment ,
to farms on which for the first i ^
time in five years tobacco is j
produced in the current year. A jj
portion of this 5 per cent may .
also be used in making proper I.
adjustments to growers producing I j
thirty-two hundred pounds or less. ^
The allotments to the new grow- j
srs are to be based upon the j
same consideration as to land, (
vntotlnn crtil nnd other Dhv- ,
sical factors, used in making al- ,
lotments to old growers, without j
consideration of course of past |
production, but the allotment to |
a new grower shall not exceed 75 t
per cent of the allotment to an ,
aid grower similarly situated. I
When a grower's allotment has (
been fixed he will be given a
marketing card showing the amount
of tobacco that he is entitled
to sell without penalty. The penalty
for selling in excess of that
amount is fixed at 50 per cent,
ar 3c per pound, whichever is the
higher.
The bill deals only with poundage,
but it is understood that
the Department will use the base
acreage established under the 1937
program and will endeavor to
narmonize the poundage and the
acreage. If the price of tobacco
s to be maintained at anything
like its present level, it would

seem that a considerable reduction
in acreage throughout the
entire belt will be necessary. The
base acreage for flue-cured tobacco
in 1937 was approximately
one million one hundred and twenty
thousand acres. It is also strikingly
true that since the farm
program was inaugurated, the
production per acre has veiy
greatly increased. Taking into
consideration the , supply of tobacco
on hand, market conditions
etc the Department is inclined to
feel, according to my advice, that
the production of flue-cured tobacco
in 1938 should be around
seven hundred million pounds if
the price is to be maintained
around the present level. To accomplish
this it will be necessary
to reduce the acreage from the
figure stated above to around
eight hundred fifty or eight hundred
seventy-five million acres. It
is strongly felt that the market
will not take any larger crop
than this at anything like the
prices received in recent years. If
the acreage is to be thus reduced,
it will mean a cut running
probably as high as 30 per cent
in some cases and as low as 10
per cent in others. As indicated
ibove, those who are furtherest
iway* from compliance with the
1937 program will naturally have
to take a larger cut than those
ivho have complied, and those
vho have fully complied with that
program will be disturbed very
little, according to my information.
Summing up the situation as it
will affect various classes of
'rowers, according to my best
nformation ,the oldgrowers stand
n two classes, to wit: Those
producing thirty two hundred
pounds or less, and those producing
more than thirty-two hundred
pounds. Those old growers producing
less than thirty-two hundred
pounds will receive an allotment
:qual to the average production
it the farm for the past three
irears ud to thirtv-two hundred
sounds, though they may have
Lo take a small cut in acreage in
Jie general reduction referred to
ihove. Old growers producing in
ixcess of thirty-two hundred
sounds will be given marketing
piotas based on the past producI
